"I was just wondering if there's any way to get Apple Music on my Chromebook, because I can't
download iTunes."

Actually, there are many people who wonder to know how to listen to Apple Music on Chromebook.
If you owned a Chromebook, maybe you have met the same question like above. Chromebook is a lightweight and flexible laptop that is good for working or learning. But the only minor is that iTunes for Chromebook downloading is not available, nor access to Apple Music. So, it means you cannot listen to Apple Music songs on Chromebook. But that's why? Is there a way to stream Apple Music on Chromebook?

Part 1. The Reason of Apple Music Not Working on Chromebooks

Even if Chromebook supports running Android apps from the Play Store, and Apple already has an Android app for Apple Music, they do not support their Apple Music Android App on Chromebooks. If you try to install the Apple Music app on your Chromebook, you will get a notification that says your Chromebook is not compatible. This is the essential reason you can't ignore.

Google clearly claims that users can play music files and videos on Chromebook or through the web and they can add music to Google Play Music library. Does this mean you can transfer iTunes music to Chromebook for playback? Definitely no! Chromebook supports file formats including 3GP, AVI, MOV, MP4, M4V, M4A, MP3, MKV, OGV, OGM, OGG, OGA, WEBM, and WAV. However, Apple Music songs are formatted in M4P which is encrypted with DRM for protecting copyright. Obviously, M4P is not included in the supported file formats of Chromebook. Then, what should you do to deal with such issue? It's easy if you try to convert M4P to MP3 which can play on Chromebook smoothly.

For those people who want to buy a Chromebook but still have anxiety about it, they should know more about advantages and disadvantages of Chromebook. To figure out the two points, just keep reading and focus on Chromebook reviews with five up-most features.

1. Operating System

A Chromebook is a laptop of a different breed. Instead of Windows 10 or macOS that laptops installed, Chromebooks run Google's Chrome OS. These machines are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet, with most applications and documents living in the cloud.

2. Price & Battery Life

Low prices which range from $85 to &999, long battery life and ease of use are just a few reasons why Chromebooks are attractive.

3. Specs

Most Chromebooks fall between 10 and 15 inches of screen size. When it comes to RAM, Chromebooks come with either 2GB or 4GB. Comparing to other laptops, Chrome OS is so lightweight so that they often don't need much storage.

4. Duration

Chromebook is equipped with built-in virus protection and updates automatically when you're online, so you'll have the latest features without slowing down. Plus, you can sign in with your Google account to switch between accounts and devices without ever missing a beat. You can find apps you are interested in Google Play Store and entertain online or offline. What's more, some of them enable touch screen which makes your work or study smoothly.
